Terrible marketing Campaigns -- Dr. Pepper

It's not for women? This is your tagline? This feels really pathetic. But perhaps it makes more sense in context. Let's see:




No, that's even worse. What combination of misogyny and insecure-about-their-masculinity do you expect your target market to be infected with? I don't even know what to say. I can't imagine who you think is going to buy this soda based on this ad.
 .
Let's see, fat, sexist, insecure, fake macho posturing. . .is your target market Rush Limbaugh?



Hmm, I would like to drop a couple of pounds, but I sure don't want anyone thinking I'm a girl, cuz girls are totally lame and have cooties. . .Oh, Dr. Pepper 10! I'll take it!

GE CEO: Protesters Should 'Root for Me'

In an interview that aired Sunday, General Electric Chairman and Obama job czar Jeffrey Immelt told CBS' Leslie Stahl that the notion that Americans were against big companies was "just wrong."
"I want you to root for me," Immelt said. "Everybody in Japan roots for Toshiba. Everybody in China roots for China South Rail. I want you to say, 'Win, GE.'

hey, genius! It's not that we're rooting against GE. We're more than happy to see GE succeed. What we have a problem with is you shipping jobs overseas, making huge profits off of war, and then paying no taxes. We would like GE to succeed without fucking us over. If you're going to keep behaving like you hate America, then the hell with you.

I feel like I have way more invested in KIA doing well, since they started making cars in Georgia, then an "American" company who makes all its stuff in China. How do you not get that?

My New Favorite Mayor

Move over, Mr. McCheese, I have a new favorite mayor now.

Pounding rain could not keep protesters from their make-shift tent city in front of City Hall on Wednesday, while city officials discussed how to make life easier for the Occupy L.A. participants. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa provided 100 ponchos for the protesters, who are part of the nationwide movement that began several weeks ago on Wall Street.

So, is handing out rain ponchos a better mayoral response than calling out the goon squad, like some mayors I could mention?

 

 

I dunno, this nutty little bag of hate seems to think I'm pretty  cool!

 

Yes. yes it is. Also his name is waaaaaay more fun to say!
